Jennifer is great! Our Klaus can be an excitable guy and she has worked with us to get to know him. She is a great communicator with pictures and messages.

Kelli wtched my senior cocker spaniel for four days when I was out of town. I was very pleased with the care that she gave, I received photos every day and a note for visits. When I got home my dog was calm and happy, what more could you ask for?! I would definitely recommend Kelli and will be contacting her to watch my girl again the next time I go out of town. She even was nice enough to take my garbage can to the curb and bring my mail in. Thank you again Kelli.

Samantha was incredible! She went above and beyond for my cat while I was gone and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She always made sure to send lots of pictures and give me updates about what they did that day. 10/10 would recommend

Staci did a great job with my elderly cocker spaniel. I felt very secure knowing that she was taking care of her during my vacation out of town. I received several pictures and updates on how she was doing while I was gone. I would definitely book her again to care for Tulla. Thank you, Staci?

About: I've loved caring for pets for family and friends over the years. Moved away from home so looking to keep that same experience around here. I'm generally off on Sundays and Mondays for work, and live close enough for potty breaks and I make my own schedule if enough notice is given. I have a fenced in yard which has been home to dogs the size of a Great Pyrenees down to a Yorkshire Terrier before. The home is large enough for multiple pets to have their space.

About: I've loved dogs ever since I can remember. I have experience caring for every breed of dog imaginable. Never found one I didn't love to the moon and back. I am a firefighter so my schedule can vary but I'll have lots of time to care and love your pup and give them all the scratches they deserve. I treat others' homes just like my own, if not better. I also don't mind grabbing your mail, feeding other pets, or watering plants if needed.

Kayla is so awesome. Not only did she come to our rescue at the last minute, but she sent us pictures of our kitty. Really appreciate her coming to the rescue with less than 24 hours notice to do a quick drop by to feed our cat. Would highly recommend Kayla!

About: I have had dogs and one cat since I was a child up until about a year ago. I trained and socialized my dogs so they were always people, child and pet friendly. I am patient and I will understand they will be stressed when their family is not with them. I love walking dogs, playing whatever games they enjoy or just spending time with them for comfort. I work from home full-time and have a flexible schedule during the week and weekends. My work week is normally done by noon on Thurs., so I have long weekend availability. I would treat your pet as I would my own. Give extra attention as we know animals miss their family. I will provide in home care so your pets are more comfortable when you are away.

Gretchen was great with my girls! She was on time for her drop-ins and stayed to play with them the whole time. She did a meeting with me to meet the girls before she came to watch them which was great! She strove to understand what I needed from her and what the girls needed with their behavioral issues! Very professional and kind!

About: I’ve pet sat for family members but I’ve also and still currently pet sit for previous teachers. I’ve done an internship at a vet clinic. I completed boces which made me a certified veterinary assistant. I worked at the SPCA while finishing up college. Volunteered at Tanglewood Nature Center. Depending on my work schedule I spend as much time as possible outside of work with your pets. I don’t leave them alone for long at all. I’m easy going, my dog gets crated when I’m not home. I will make sure nothing is sitting out that could potentially harm an animal

About: I’ve always had household dogs&cats as well as taken care of friends/family’s pets since I was about 13. From my brothers labs,huskies and beagles, to cousins large and protective Rottweilers, to good friends hyper anxious dog with a cancer diagnosis. As well as other friends super hyper border collie and chiuahua. The most pets I cared for at once was five dogs and two cats. I’ve also cared for three cats and a bearded dragon at the same time. I myself have two cats I train, play with love and care for Currently working as a direct support person and care aid, which provides me with a very flexible schedule. I used to work in cosmetic retail and I freelance in the realm of beauty doing makeup, hair and face painting. I have a very open schedule for pet care currently! I have a few regular clients but am always happily accepting new clients I’ve driven all around for pet care before and always make it a point to ease into home of the pet. I also have always enjoyed dog walking or dropping in for a pet visit/check in, it’s like free pet therapy to me!

About: Ever since I was 10 years old and even younger I have been taking care of animals! From my own , to friends and families as well. Animals aren’t just pets, they are apart of our family! They make life better , I am passionate about making sure they are taken care of and in good hands at all times. I currently have animals of my own, and I take pride into making sure they know they’re loved, fed, and exercised every single day too. I will happily come and let your pets out, stay there and make sure they are fed and watered, let them play for awhile and/or give them a walk to get them out and about. If they would come to my house, I have a fenced part of the yard, 3 other sweet fur babies to help keep your pet company, and land to let them play around safely and get exercise in daily.

About: I grew up on a farm and have been around all sorts of animals. I have experience with all types of dogs, from Great Danes to Chihuahuas. Neighbors, friends, and family have previously relied on me to house sit and care for their pet(s) while they’re away. I’m currently working part time, so I have lots of free time to care for your pet(s). Even on days I work, I can do potty breaks before and after. I rely on what the client tells/gives me. I like to keep animals in their own home so they can feel comfortable and not anxious with another person and at another home. It’s good to keep one of those neutral.

Jessica was great with my dog and my cat! I received video and photos during her visits. It appears she followed what I had laid out plan wise for them. I know some are a bit over the top like leaving on Pandora but she did as I asked, which I appreciate so very much. This was the first time I had someone that wasn't family watch my animals and I was anxious, but she did a great job. Thank you so much!
